24 Editor-Approved Bridal Outerwear Options for Your Fall Wedding
As someone who has been (and still goes) to her fair share of weddings—including my own—I’m pretty sure I can confidently say that when it comes to bridal style, I’ve seen it all. Beachy, casual, covered-up, fashion-forward, classic, all-embellished-everything, minimalist, black tie, and in every season and climate you can imagine. I’ve seen multiple outfit changes, zero outfit changes, and even an end-of-the-night sweatpants situation, all which have lead me to understand that no two brides are the same, and no number of options could ever be too much.
Of course, I say all of this to prepare you for the spectrum of bridal outerwear styles you’re about to see below. From denim jackets and casual cardigans to furry and feathered pieces to trendy trenches and classic capes, I can’t say with certainty that I’ve got something for everyone, but I think I’ve gotten as close as one possibly could. Whether you have a fall or winter wedding on the horizon or a Pinterest board to fill, just keep scrolling to see and shop my cool bridal finds.
Can't go wrong with Alaïa. This simple cropped cardigan is the perfect cover for throwing on in-between photos.
Remember: Weddings often involve more than one event, and I have feeling fashion girls will be willing to plan a whole night's outfit around this beauty.
It was hard for me to select just one piece from modern bridal brand Lein.
I love this cropped number, even for wearing beyond the wedding.
Is your theme winter wonderland? If so, I feel like this is for you.
I didn't know until after moving to NY from L.A. that winter brides actually need a coat option.
Anyone could wear this cool cardi, but a wedding is always a good excuse to buy something.
Feathers are key to channeling your inner Attico girl.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
